Bone densitometry is an essential medical test for assessing bone mineral density and determining bone strength. This procedure is painless, non-invasive, and uses a minimal amount of ionizing radiation to obtain detailed images of key areas such as the spine and hip. Its main objective is to diagnose conditions such as osteoporosis and assess the risk of bone fractures in patients. Early detection of osteoporosis is essential for preventing fractures and other associated complications.
